The first sensation was caused by the
arrival Of the maids OF honor in Greek
dress, a very lovely costume indeed, the
loyelier for its simplicity of Told and line;
white material, broadly banded on skirt
and jacket with red or blue velvet. The
headdress was particularly graceful;
white, gauzy stuff arranged hemwise,

band little above the forehead. The
sound of martial music outside raised eX-
pectatlon on tiptoe, and the Archbishop
OF Athens, supported by two bishops with
long black wells. walked slowly down the
carpeted nave, carrying candles and the
gospel. This was to meet NJ. TricoupIs,
who kissed the bible as he entered the
church with the baby Prince and his Eng
lish nurse. Another flourish Of music,
and this time the Archbishop went
down the church steps, and a tre-

at the whole proceedings, balanced by
